How to Make Edible Cookie Dough

Edible cookie dough is a delightful treat that lets you enjoy the delicious taste of cookie dough without the risks associated with consuming raw eggs or uncooked flour. Here’s a simple and safe recipe to how to make edible cookie dough:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup of brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar

3. Add Milk and Vanilla: Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until fully combined.

5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips or your choice of mix-ins.
6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cookie dough for about 30 minutes to firm it up slightly. Then, scoop and enjoy your edible cookie dough.
